"Unless you’re still doing that?" Timothy's jaw clenched, and he took a deep breath, trying to keep his composure. He had heard these jabs from Andy before, but they never failed to sting. He responded with a controlled tone, "I still play." Kamran, who had been mostly silent during the exchange, finally chimed in, his disapproval evident. "Your mother, the poor woman, always encouraged that silly hobby. Look where it got us." The mention of his mother, Lydia, who had been battling cancer for years, struck a nerve in Timothy. He had shared a special bond with his mother, who had always believed in him and his love for hockey. It had been her unwavering support that had fueled his determinati

She was already dealing with enough. I had just stepped into campus when Sarah came running up to me like a storm. “Guess what,” she said, eyes wide like a child on Christmas. “We have a hockey match today. A real one. With actual college scouts and everything. And guess who’s the starting player?” I didn’t answer. I already knew. “Dominic Lakes,” she said with a dramatic sigh. “God, he’s so hot. You think he’s single?” I rolled my eyes. “Why would I care?”

Jay Ten Years Later… The first thing you learn in the NHL is that nobody gives a damn about where you came from. Not your junior stats. Not your hometown. Not the rink you grew up freezing your ass off in while your parents screamed from the bleachers. The only thing that matters in this league is what you do on the ice and for the last ten years, I’ve been answering that question the same way every night. I’ve made damn sure everyone knows exactly who Jay Mercer is and what he can do.

on the skating roster? Before I could type no, Tessa sent another text: “Gerald Lennox is gonna be there.” My heart skipped a beat. Gerald Lennox was captain of the university’s hockey team. Six-foot-something, broad shoulders, with hair that looked windswept like he’d just stepped out of a cologne advertisement. I’d seen him around campus a handful of times. I shook my head. “No” I whispered to myself. Guys like Gerald didn’t look at girls like me.

Will like to know if we are going to be involved he is someone I can count on to not make a fool of me. “So what happened? Did you get divorced?” “No, he died.” “Oh, my goodness! I am so sorry about that. He must have been really young.” That made me laugh. It’s nice that everyone’s first impression is that my husband was young. “No, he was quite old. Jake Mccatty is his name. The best of men. He was the most amazing person I had ever come across in my entire life.” Charles furrowed his brows. “Jake Mccatty? I know him, he has a son, Mark Mccatty. They are the strong forte of wealth in the diamond pack. Well known for their brilliance in handling business. He died a year ago if I remember.”

"He is actually taking time off the team, so it's a good time to see if his grades can be saved." "Oh," I mouthed, chewing my steak but wondering why. Jace Carter was practically the face of his team and the youngest. I had seen the school banners and local newspaper features. Hockey was the one thing that made him more than just another arrogant rich kid. I kept my face neutral and gave Marla a warm smile instead. "I will do my absolute best. I'm very committed to making sure he hits a strong score." I looked towards Jace to see if he was upset and sure enough, he was.

Ken scooped up the puck, skated furiously down the right flank, and unleashed a blazing slap shot that zoomed past the goalie's shoulder, scoring the team's second goal. The European coach screamed from the sidelines, calling for a timeout, but it was completely useless. Every time the opposing team tried to use their heavy size to bully the Hawks, Julian would easily outmaneuver them with his superior speed and hockey intelligence. He moved like a ghost on the ice, appearing out of nowhere to intercept passes and strip the puck away.

He suddenly turned to ask Mr and for the first time in five years and he smiled at me . Nate fucking smiled at me , no this wasn’t real , it was the Nate that I knew , he could never do that . It seems like the shocked expression was so obvious on my face and he just chuckled and walked towards it but not without telling me to come along , but I heard it , how could he say it from a distance and I could hear the words clearly Nate ignored my shocked look before I could tell what was happening, he pulled off his shirt . Oh my , that was my exact reaction when I saw his body , the tattoos , the drawings , the scars , he was beautiful .

Marcus Webb had been my teammate for four years in Ottawa. He was also, as far as I knew, the only other person in professional hockey who knew exactly what I was. He called on a Sunday afternoon, his voice carrying the background noise of an airport, which meant he was traveling for an away series. "I saw the article," he said, when we'd gotten past the opener. "Yeah." "The photo was good. You look like yourself." "What does that mean?" "It means you look like someone who's playing hockey because they love it instead of because they're surviving it. There's a difference. It's visible." A pause. The airport noise shifted. "How are things with the Ice King?"

Two whole months. “Brad,” I murmured again, “you’re not the type to give up like this. Hockey guys don’t give up. I mean, you literally trained in the snow while your fingers were freezing once— you even bragged about it.” I smiled a little at the memory. “So please… don’t let this be the one game you sit out.” Just as another wild, spiraling thought crossed my mind, something flickered across his face. Not a twitch and that was not a dream reflex.
